Weekly Flylady Thread 9th November 2026

Plenty of bourbons to share Iona 😘. If we finish those, I also have ginger nuts…

Geraniums repotted, small cake for a friend’s birthday has been filled and iced, one curtain hem done. I have also brought my seeds in so that I can stop thinking up excuses to avoid sorting them out and working out what I might want to order.

Valli

Meh - though the ground wasd dry the washing hasn't dried much, if at all. Anyhoo been to Outswimming Cancer then came home via the CS then via the hand car wash, so the Valli Mobile looks good.

It's been a very November day

This was in our very well-known parish church. For Remembrance Sunday. Done by an aquaintance.

SandyShores

Absolutely exhausted, finished 2 coats in the spare room/PC room and moved the furniture back in place, put the lampshade back up (with MrShores' help) and the curtains have been rehung. All the clutter is ready to be sorted through.

I still need to paint the windowsill and while I'm doing that I'll retouch the bathroom woodwork as I keep noticing bits that need doing. I will also get MrShores to assist in taking down all the lampshades - didn't realise how much dust they collect!

Two items sold today - FB and fleabay, plus I had the fleabay return to do, so a trip to the P.O. was made.

I've also got 2 CS bags full in my car - noticed when I went to put the Ikea purchases into the boot on Saturday. I have to pop out in the morning so I'll see if I can get a parking space nearby to drop them off. We've got one more room to paint now, but much smaller so won't take as much effort (thankfully).

Wow Valli. That arrangement is amazing.

Very little Flying here today as it was sunny so I went for a long walk, but I did the usual tidying and chucking out of old stuff that a month or so ago I would have kept. I'm liking this chucking malarky. I am not fit, but the new trainers were just the job. Made a batch of yoghurt and got the two fleeces in because it looked like rain - and it did. They're now dry and acting as a yoghurt cosy overnight.

Valli

Yes, its a gorgeous arrangement. Not seen it in the flesh but thought it worth sharing. Swimming stuff in WM.

Re the comedian and trial verdict - went to see him in concert a few years back - he actually said, on stage, that he would be happy to welcome any ladies who wished to meet him to join him (and I am paraphrasing here) for some fun. Rather seedy, really.

Of to docs tomorrow for blood test and personal mot. ugh

Morning all. Hope you're all ok today. Lovely Poppy display Valli.

Yesterday was grand son day so only basic flying got done. DH looked after him in afternoon as I had a hospital appointment and flu jab booked in. Then after dropping DGS back home we took Poppet to the vet for her boosters. Got the results finally of her recent op and she's now on a special diet to try to stop a recurrence. First job this morning is getting finances up to date as I hadn't planned to buy this special food at £40 a pop!

I will fly this morning then I have my exercise class this afternoon.

Have a great day everyone.

Me again. Just having breakfast.

I've sorted banking, booked an afternoon tea for December and from the list I have made some shortbread dough which is now in the freezer and hoovered and mopped downstairs. Sofa covers changed and bedding also washed. I'll remake the bed later. Washing up next.

Valli

Been to the docs for MOT. No doubt will receive nagging phonecall later in the month. Collected the aged P and taken him shopping - wisely I suggested we use a big trolley (I never use a big trolley usually) and given what he bought that was sensible. Remebered to tell him about the Christmas arrangements - Christmas Day at DS's with mine as back up (what day is that? Well it's the 25th…) and the family get-together on the 30th so reminded him that he needs to buy wine to take to both of those events so we have bought prosecco. Mum never turned up at a family event empty-handed but The Aged P needs reminding so I have to do that for him now. Then we went to a (different) church on the way home for a latte (I like cappuccino but I have given that up as I always end up with a chocolate moustache). Turns out I was supposed to look at the letter he left on the sofa while he was on his jollies as we have messed up the PoA (health) form so now I know why I have had only 1 letter from the Office of the Public Guardian. He didn't tell me to look at it so I didn't, though I did spot it.

Anyone collecting the Morrisons Disney cards?

Checked banking - HMRC have kindly dropped the tax refund into my account. Boom!

Sorry for spamming the thread - didn't realise the flowers had posted twice.
